Not exactly.  Your patch was correct in principle but exposed latent
bugs elsewhere.  Difficult ones, because fold is shared between FEs
and the middle-end and fold and the FEs _do_ care about TREE_OVERFLOW.

...

So indeed, working around these issues where they pop up is the way
to go in the near future.

(this doesn't mean a TREE_OVERFLOW in the IL is valid ...)
